The Cincinnati Reds have called up baseball’s fourth-ranked prospect, Elly De La Cruz. They have tough matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers and RHP Tony Gonsolin (3-1), but that hasn’t deterred the sportsbooks from opening up generous MLB player prop lines for the young star. Let’s dive into the top MLB player prop odds for Elly De La Cruz in his debut.

Wow — FanDuel Sportsbook is quite confident in De La Cruz starting his MLB career off with a solid game. De La Cruz has a 74.4% chance of recording a hit, per their odds, which is quite generous for a player we’re yet to see in the show — especially against a pitcher like Gonsolin.
With FanDuel’s market opening so generously, there could be arbitrage opportunities once books that take action on unders open the floodgates. At the current prices, I’m passing on all of the MLB player props for De La Cruz — the books are looking to capitalize on over-eager public bettors.
If I see such an arbitrage spot — or a high-value under bet — I’ll update this post with that information. Otherwise, steer clear of the Elly De La Cruz betting markets. That said, if you’ve yet to register at FanDuel, you can get a no-sweat first bet worth up to $1,000 — the possibility of getting your stake back as a bonus bet makes getting action on De La Cruz a lot less risky.
